Solution
Male sterilisation, sometimes known as a vasectomy, is a permanent method of prevention that involves cutting and tying the vasa deferens, which transports sperm from the testes to the penis. This stops the sperm from dispersing into the semen during the procedure. For males who are convinced they don't want to be a father in the future, it is an easy and reliable technique of birth control.
